What are you worried about? garridomaso https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1770251603 I’m looking forward to speaking English in a confident atmosphere because I feel insecure, and I worry about being judged by others. This is as a consequence of my bad previous English experiences. ]]> 2021-09-27 06:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1770251603 What are your objectives for this course? garridomaso https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1770251606
I would like to  learn different resources to teach English in the future. But, my main objective is to improve my English, especially my fluency, my pronunciation, and grammar.   ]]> 2021-09-27 06:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1770251606 What kind of teacher do you want to be? Consider the qualities and attributes you would like to have and the experience you want your students to have. How do you think this course will help you to become the teacher that you want to be? garridomaso https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1770251607 I would like to be a teacher that teaches across the experiences and connects the lessons with the daily life of her students.  

The qualities and attributes that I would like to have are patience, empathy, perseverance and knowing how to explain clearly. Also, I think that it is very important to recognize the student's progress and value their effort so that they keep their motivation. I consider the previous qualities and attributes are essential to teach any subject. 

In this course, I hope to get many resources and strategies to do dynamic and funny lessons.

Search for an image of a Primary classroom that you would like to have as a teacher. Why do you like it? What makes it an effective learning environment? garridomaso https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1808302069 My ideal classroom would be an approximation to that of the image. First, the organization of the classroom is very comfortable for both the students and the teacher. The classroom is colorful and charming, but not too loaded. The teacher hasn’t table. In this case, to store her things, she can have a side table or a drawer. 

The students are organized in groups, which allows them to interact and talk to each other during the works sessions. Group work is very important because I believe that everyone can give their point of view or their help if a colleague requires it. 
In addition, the chairs are stackable, this allows us to stack them and leave the classroom clear for the sessions that students have to occupy the entire classroom. 

Each table has material that the students can use during classes. Although in the organizers that are next to the classroom has more material (organized by category). 

The environment where you work is very important for learning. On the one hand, if you are in a pleasant and warm place, work and ans learning will be more effective. On the other hand, if you are in an unpleasant and uncomfortable place, you won’t work or learn well.

What routines are you going to establish in your classes? garridomaso https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1808427168 The routines that students should do should be simple. These are, for example, songs for entering and leaving the classroom, for to say the weather, the date and hour. Then, every day, I'll ask students how are they.In my classes, I’ll establish routines because I think they are important. As I said before, I would establish routines with songs for the entrance and exit of the classroom and the creation of groups. Then, every day, I’ll would make a small song with a dance with vocabulary that we have worked on before or that we’ll to work. ]]> 2021-10-11 18:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1808427168 1. What are the main things to keep in mind when teaching English to younger learners? garridomaso https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1808429701 Firstly, the teachers what teach English to youngers learners must provide a homey, friendly and warm classroom so younger learners feel comfortable. Secondly, teachers have to try to deliver lessons with simple routines, directions and rules. 
The activities have to be short, but include a lot of vocabulary practice. Moreover, there have to be different types of activities and types of participation with much repetition. The activities for greater learning are games, songs and mimicry with and without objects, among many others.  Is very important that the younger learners are working together and having fun, but also, is important that they can work individually. ]]> 2021-10-11 18:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1808429701 4. How can we avoid some of the “bad” teaching habits shown in the BBC videos? garridomaso https://padlet.com/garridomaso/cspsijyu6z25gmtx/wish/1808550903 We can avoid “bad” teaching habits, being aware that the best way to learn a language is by practicing it, therefore, we have to promote the oral practice of the language. 

The explanations have to be short and with few examples. Teachers have to comply with the rule that says that students must speak 70% and the teacher 30%. 

If students make mistakes, they shouldn’t be humiliated or angered. We have to show them that mistakes learn. 

When we ask our students questions, we have to allow time for them to think and respond. If we give them the answer ahead of time, they won’t learn. 

To know if the students have understood a lesson, we must ask them questions about it.
